Heath beats Brown, Part II

When Lakers rookie Brandon Heath and Sacramento guard Bobby Brown faced each other on the floor at Thomas & Mack Arena on Sunday, it wasn't the first time they had met.

The two squared off four years ago in a college game. Heath was a star at San Diego State at the time, while Brown was a sophomore star-in-the-making at Cal State Fullerton.

In that game, Heath scored 17 points to lead the Aztecs to a three-point victory despite Brown's 27 points. Brown made 7 of 11 3-pointers against the Aztecs.

At the NBA level, the result was similar with Heath's team bettering Brown's. But neither player made much of an impact as Heath scored just two points in the Lakers' preseason victory, while Brown had seven.
